Mathematics 11 Online
OpenStudy (aurorab):

solve for x: -3|x + 7| = -12

OpenStudy (mertsj):

1. Divide both sides by -3 2. x+7 must be exactly 4 units from 0 3. So x+7 must be 4 or x+7 must be -4 4. Write and solve both of those equations.

OpenStudy (aurorab):

so it would be -3 for the first one and -11 for the second one??
